WIMBLEDON, England -- During this damp but enlightening fortnight at the All
England Club, the superlatives have been lavished upon Roger Federer.
Goran Ivanisevic called him the most talented player he has ever seen.
Serena Williams used the word "unbelievable." John McEnroe conceded that
Federer might well win more than McEnroe's seven Grand Slam singles titles.
Martina Navratilova said she would pay to see him play.
No less an authority than Andy Roddick observed, "He hits shots that a
lot of people wouldn't even think of hitting, and it seems he's immune to
pressure right now."
In a match between the two best players in the world, Federer was not
at his best on Sunday -- although Roddick was a major factor in that.
Federer's serve was not as precise as usual and his ground strokes were
sluggish. Through the first two-and-one-half sets, Federer was not
particularly aggressive. But although the championship score -- 4-6, 7-5,
7-6 (3), 6-4 -- was much closer than last year's straight-sets semifinal,
the 22-year-old Swiss player was again too good on Centre Court.
"All is not lost because I lost today," Roddick said. "You know, I
still had a hell of a run. I proved that Roger is not invincible -- he's
pretty close.
"It was a couple of points here and there. We kill that term, but today
it really was."
Federer, who during a second rain break made a conscious decision to
come to net more after he was down a service break in the third set, won his
third Grand Slam title in the last five contested.
"This is when the sunshine came at the same time," Federer said. "I'm
happy I had such a great reaction."
The world's No. 1-ranked player has now beaten the No. 2 player six of
seven times. Over his brief career, Federer has a history of mediocrity when
he loses the first set. Previously, he had lost all three of his matches at
Wimbledon in which he had lost the first set.
Roddick supporters will point to the encouraging evolution of his game,
his tender age of 21 and the distinct prospect of a second consecutive U.S. Open
title. In fairness, Roddick had numerous chances to take control of the
match, particularly in the fourth set, but he didn't do it.
Federer, clearly, is in a class by himself.
As Roddick said during the trophy presentation, "I'm going to have to
start winning some of them to call it a rivalry."
Roddick said it with a smile, but later, in his post-match press
conference, he said, "I wasn't joking."
So if Roddick can't beat Federer, who can? Marat Safin? Juan Carlos
Ferrero? More likely, it will be someone currently in the junior ranks,
maybe 18-year-old Spaniard Rafael Nadal or 14-year-old Donald Young of the
United States.
How many Grand Slam singles titles will Federer win? Is he Pete
Sampras, can he match his record total of 14? Or is he Andre Agassi, who has
won a more modest eight majors? Tiger Woods or Jack Nicklaus?
It is impossible to know, but the graceful Swiss player will be part of
the Grand Slam dialogue for many, many years. He has so distanced himself
from his peers that history is already his only yardstick.
Federer became the first man to defend his title here since Sampras in
2000. Is it merely a coincidence that it was a 19-year-old Federer who ended
Sampras' 31-match winning streak at Wimbledon the following year? Federer is
the first man since Agassi in 1999 to win two Grand Slam titles in a calendar year.
More remarkably, he is only the fourth man in 36 years of Open tennis to win
his first three Grand Slam finals. Jimmy Connors, Stefan Edberg and the
great Bjorn Borg were the others. Federer has now won 24 consecutive matches on
grass, the second-highest total ever in the Open Era. Is it unthinkable to
imagine Federer approaching Borg's record of 41 straight, achieved here at
Wimbledon with five straight titles from1976-81?
"It's always been like this since I've played juniors," Federer said.
"If I get to the finals, you know, I just don't want to lose them. I do not
"This is why for me in the beginning of my career it was very difficult
to actually get to know defeat in the finals, because I had a bad record.
Since now, quite a long period of time, I've been winning a lot of the
Indeed, Federer is tennis' consummate closer; Wimbledon was his eight
straight victory in a final.
Before the match, Roddick allowed "The one advantage I have over him is
just hitting the crap out of the ball," but there was more to his Fourth of
July game than sheer pace.
While he came in with an all-or-nothing
mentality, Roddick actually advanced to net (even after second serves) and
hit some pretty one-hand slices. This was a departure from his
moored-to-the-baseline approach in last year's semifinal. Federer said he
was surprised at how consistent Roddick's backhand was and said it didn't
allow him to run around his backhand.
Roddick held a 4-2 lead in the third set when a second rain delay sent
them off the court. After a 40-minute pause, Federer looked like a new man.
He made the critical decision to serve and volley more often, and it worked.
Federer broke back to level the match at 4-all and rose to a new level in
the tiebreaker.
Federer's first two serves were aces, and it was 3-2 when Roddick lost
his serve trying to hit a forehand too close to the line. On Roddick's next
serve, Federer hit one of his signature backhands, a lovely cross-court
stroke that hooked sharply past a flat-footed Roddick at net. Federer seized
control of the match with another backhand pass.
The fourth set is the one that will eat at Roddick for quite
some time. He had six break points against Federer and any one of them might
have led to a fifth set. But Federer was stronger in the crucial moments.
"I felt like I had one bad point," Roddick said. "He came up with some
great serves. I flagged a backhand, which I haven't done for almost the
whole match. Besides that, he came up with the goods. I can only regret one
of those."
Federer broke Roddick seventh game and served out the match with flair,
ending it with an ace.
Roddick said he would be back, and his progression from semifinal to
final suggests he will win here one day. He acquitted himself well in his
first Wimbledon final and his record here is a still-sporty 15-4.
"Losses like this inspire me more," Roddick said. "I feel like I'm on
the right track. I got one match better than I did last year. Hopefully,
that's a precedent.
"I came up short. Maybe next time, I won't."
Federer's stylish strokes obscure the mental toughness that he has
brought to his game over the last year.
"Seems like I can get my act together at the right time." Federer said.
"I knew my only chance to win was to stay calm. For me, winners stay and
losers go.
"I don't want to be one of them who goes."

Explosion at Revolutionary Guards Base in Karaj
November 12, 2011 - 7:03 am
Just outside Tehran. The Guards, as usual in these cases, say it was an accident. Just like the repeated failures of landing gear on their aircraft, and explosions on their trains. I was told in advance to watch for a "big bang," and I do not believe it was an accident, any more than the fires and explosions in the pipelines are accidents, or the ongoing strikes are accidents. I think it's part of the ongoing war against the regime waged by the opposition. You know, the one that doesn't exist. The one that's been crushed. The one Obama and Hillary dare not support…

ST: Shaping a Cardassian - "Strength Without Sacrifice is Useless"
View Single Post
July 23 2011, 01:55 PM
Gul Re'jal
Location: Gul Re'jal is suspecting she's on the wrong space station
Re: ST: Shaping a Cardassian - "Strength Without Sacrifice is Useless"
"I'm not going to give up, Gul Brenok. I will change my tactics and see if they bore fruit."
Does she have self-destructive tendencies? Something to draw her attention from internal pain to physical one? Does she seem like able to hurt herself? Or worse?
Fatret shook her head. "No, I don't think so. Her punishment is mental. She tortures herself with self-loathing and nightmares."
Brenok closed his eyes. "
Isn't there anything you could do for her?
" he asked, not opening the eyes. "
Anything to help her become herself?
Taret frowned. It seemed that the gul didn't fully understand. "Sir, she is herself now. A different herself, but that's her. She will not become anyone else and she will not return to the previous personality. That kind of personality change is rare and in her case it was a result of a very serious brain damage. This is
I need my Atira, I need my friend, I need her advices. I need the person she used to be. I need her back.
"Brenok, she's not coming back. And right now she needs your support more than ever." Taret didn't want it to sound so harsh, but he started to fear that Brenok would abandon his friend after this. She was different, in a way she was a stranger to him now, but Taret couldn't imagine that Brenok would reject her and start treating her like a stranger.
"Gul Brenok, I understand how you're feeling," Fatret said. The gul gave her the look that could kill, but she bravely continued, "But please keep in mind that she is still very unstable and in an internal turmoil. It's partially my fault, as my sessions weren't headed where they were supposed to. Now I understand my mistake and will change my tactics."
Do everything you can for her
," the gul said and signed off.
"He didn't take it well, did he?" Fatret commented astonished.
"No, he didn't. I think he believes that he depends on her, but that's not the truth." He didn't even want to think about Toral's reaction to all this...unless Toral fell in love with the new personality, not the old one.
Cardassian Union Science Ship Marritza, the second-in-command's private quarters
Yassel waited for the connection and wished it were over already. She dreaded that conversation but she knew she had to get through this. Whatever would happen—she had to do it. She had been postponing it for over a month already—almost two months in fact—but she could not do it any longer. This had to be done and it should have been done many months ago.
The face of an elder Cardassian, whom she resembled a lot, appeared on her screen.
"Father," she greeted him, hoping that the shaking of her voice wouldn't be too obvious.
My daughter! I didn't expect a call from you
," he stated. She couldn't tell if he was happy to see her, surprised, or disappointed. "
How is your assignment?
"It is fine, Father. My gul is a fair and decent man and my crew is good."
I'm glad to hear that.
" He paused. "
Is there any special reason for contacting me?
" he asked.
"Indeed, there is." She took a breath. "I would like to inform you of something. Of...someone."
Yes, what is it? Or, shall I say, who is it?
"I have met someone. Someone special for me."
Oh? Is the interest mutual?
She couldn't stop her smile. "Yes, it is."
Tell me about him.
So, this was it. "His name is Aladar. He had served on the
, under Gul Brenok's command for twenty years. He has received many commendations and his superiors praise him. He is dedicated to his duty and has high moral standards." What else could she say before dropping the bomb? "He has been transferred to my ship and that's how we met. His service is so exemplary that a few months ago he was accepted to join the ranks of the 'Damar's Guard,' for he is a garesh."
All she could do now was accepting her father's—no doubt, violent—reaction.
Gul Yassel pursed his lips, nodded and then asked, "
Is he a good man?
This was
what she had expected. She tried not to show her astonishment. "Yes, Father, he is. He is gentle, and warm, and strong and wonderful."
The elder Cardassian's face changed it's expression and she saw something that she didn't see often—a smile. "
Then I am happy for you
," he said.
"Really?" Her amazement had to be obvious.
Is it so surprising that I want all the best for my oldest daughter and that I want her to be happy?
"But...he is not a high-born man and not even an officer."
Gul Yassel sighed. "
Vaneme, such things carry little importance these days. Why do you think I haven't chosen a mate for you? I wanted you to choose for yourself. I do not care for his rank or his social status, as long as he is a good and decent person who will make you happy. You are going to spend the rest of your life with him and that's what should be considered. If he is a decent, hard-working garesh, then fine. Better than lazy and incompetent gul
Her astonishment raised. She had never expected to hear anything like that from her father. She had never known that he cared about her; she hadn't experienced much warmth in her family home and love was not something that the family members expressed. It was a cold place and she didn't even feel like returning there on her shore leaves, as it felt more like visiting distant relatives than going back to mother and father.
Maybe that was the reason? Maybe her father wanted her to find her own love and marry whom she loved because his own marriage had been arranged by his parents and he was unhappy and never loved his wife?
"I was so sure you would be angry," she admitted.
He shook his head and asked, "
When can I meet him?
"I am not sure, Father. But you will."
Gul Yassel nodded and disconnected.
Glinn Yassel was the happiest person in the galaxy. She had misjudged him so badly, but it was a good news. Even if other members of the family would be against her relationship, her father's support was enough to make her feel better.
Rayak Nor, Medic Fatret's office
Jarol stared at her therapist, wondering why the woman hadn't said a word since their session started. They just kept looking at each other.
Finally, the therapist spoke. "Jarol, let's play a role-playing game, shall we?"
"Do I have a choice?"
Fatret smiled. "Actually, in this case yes, you do."
"Let's play. I'm curious what kind of trick you're going to pull now."
"All right. Imagine that you are an archon. Your son's colleague. And your task is to judge Gul Jarol, former legate, for her past actions."
Jarol scolded. "All right..." she said slowly.
"You have all the facts and it's time to make a decision about the sentence. The tribunal starts tomorrow, so you have to make a decision now. What is it?"
Jarol didn't say anything. She just stared in front of her, torn between two options. Fatret waited patiently for a few minutes and then asked, "Is the sentence a difficult decision?"
The gul looked at the medic. "I...I believe I deserve
, but I can't imagine sentencing anyone to this kind of suffering. So I don't know," she admitted.
For all she'd done in her life, she deserved the worst. She knew that. But she couldn't imagine inflicting so much pain on someone else. She couldn't order to torture anyone. Even in her worst time, she wouldn't.
"Isn't there any other sentence you would find adequate?"
"So, in your opinion, Gul Jarol deserves to die."
"What if she regrets?"
"She should. She should show in public that she made mistakes and that they were wrong, to teach others not to do the same. That's what the Tribunal is for."
"What if there is some Prophets' or Oralius's trick involved and her body was exchanged with someone else's? Someone else resides inside her and she is inside the other body?"
"Body is just a shell. The person should be punished."
"But then the other person would never get their body back."
Jarol didn't know what to say to that. She decided not to answer at all and say something else instead. "I believe that every crime, every broken rule should be paid for. There must be balance and order in the society. Without that chaos would come and destroy everything." She leaned forward. "I violate this balance."
"If you believe that death is the appropriate punishment, why don't you just kill yourself? Wouldn't that fix the balance?"
Jarol laughed bitterly. "It's not just about dying, Fatret. Death should be the payment. Not just removing someone from the society. If I die of old age and am no more, the balance wouldn't be restored. It's not about being dead, it's about paying for violating the order."
"Isn't there another punishment that could pay the price?"
"Something that I could subject myself to, to feel better about this?"
Fatret smiled. "Maybe."
"Give yourself a chance and ponder it for at least three seconds, please."
"I 'pondered' it many times. I see no other fair alternative."
"How about combining a few alternatives?"
"No. Nothing."
Fatret sighed. Jarol observed her for a long moment and she felt tears gathering in her eyes. "There's no hope for me, is there?"
The medic bit her lip. "You torture yourself and time doesn't seem to ease your pain. It is obvious to me that our sessions don't work either."
"You don't know how to help me."
"You don't let me help you." Fatret frowned and quickly said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to put the blame on you. What I meant was that you resist our sessions, you are reluctant and refuse to fully open to me. But what I see is that you think a lot when you're alone, also about what we talk about during our conversations. What I would like to see are your conclusions after each analysis that you seem to perform. Maybe if we discussed your conclusions, I could help you to continue your analysis from the point that you'd stopped.
"I am not your enemy, Jarol. I am trying to help you. I am trying to help you see that your life has not ended and that you still can do something with it. You're still young and there's still a lot of good things you can do. Wouldn't good things bring some balance back?"
"I'm afraid to do anything, I'm afraid all my decisions would be wrong again."
"Then ask someone for an opinion. Ask Brenok. You trust him and his judgement, don't you?"
"I can't ask him about everything, I can't burden him with my doubts."
"You still have to choose what to have for breakfast yourself."
Jarol's face was graced by a small grin. "My son decides about that."
"From now on you will make that decision. Let's start from small steps. Let's rebuild your life."
"Without closing the matters from the previous one?"
"They are closed. It's just that the closure doesn't satisfy you."
Jarol frowned and didn't say anything. She felt lost. "Is there anything I could do to fix myself?" she asked at length.
"You are not broken, Jarol," Fatret said softly. "You are not a broken tool that needs to be repaired."
"I'm a tool that broke a lot of things."
"Try to concentrate on good things. Don't forget about lost lives but also remember about saved lives."
Jarol wanted so much to say that she had never saved anyone, but it would be a lie. "I don't think that even twice more saved would make up for the dead ones."
"No, it wouldn't 'make up.' But you must understand you are not a monster that brings only misery. You did good things in your life, you just pretend they didn't happen. You demonise yourself in your own eyes."
Jarol didn't say anything. She thought about Fatret's words and couldn't deny them. She didn't want to think about anything good, she didn't deserve any good to be appreciated or remembered. She curled on the sofa and drew her knees to her chest. "Will I be always like this?" she asked quietly in a breaking voice.
"I hope not. But you must want to change it, really want it."
"I don't know how."
"We will keep working on that," Fatret said softly.
Jarol didn't reply and just kept laying. Fatret observed her for a moment and then rose from her chair and went to her desk. She made herself busy, giving the gul some time to do the thinking.
Cardassian Union Warship Damar, the gul's office
Karama had told Brenok that there was a call waiting for him so as soon as he arrived on the bridge, he headed for his office. His mouth stretched in a big grin when he saw Jarol.
"Atira, how nice to see you," he said.
She had a solemn look on her face. To think of it, he didn't remember when was the last time he saw her smiling. She always appeared so sad and self-conscious. She wasn't his friend any more, was she? Taret had told him about the changes, but...weren't they too much? Was she ever going to smile again? "
This is more of an official matter
," she said quietly.
"All right. What can I do for you."
I assume you will wouldn't allow me resign
Can I at least return to Cardassia? I don't have to be here, do I? I'm not in command anyway.
"Is there a reason?" he asked. He wouldn't mind her coming back home, but he worried that it was about Laran.
I'm not sure I'm correct, but it seems that you won't let me free myself of Fatret until I'm healthy—whatever that means. I read a bit and cases like mine—unredeemable criminals—take years to be fixed
." He hated when she talked badly of herself, especially since her judgement seemed warped to the extreme. He also didn't appreciate that she brought her own persona to a tool that should be fixed. He said nothing, tough. "
She cannot be on Rayak Nor for years for my...therapy. She has a family and a home. And there's no reason for me to stay here; no duty. So it would be better for both of us to go to Cardassia
He had to agree that it made sense. "How about Laran?"
He wants to finish his apprenticeship here, on the station. As annoying as Colissa can be, she is a good archon. He knows he's going to learn a lot from her
How did she feel about leaving her son behind on a space station? He didn't dare to ask. "Of course you can return. Maybe that would help in your therapy, too. But are you sure you want to do that?"
I'm sure
"Is Fatret's family life the only reason?"
No. It's the only reason that makes sense and doesn't prove that I'm not crazy.
"Tell me about the others?"
She was silent for a moment. "
I hate this place
," she admitted, lowering her eyes. "
This place almost killed me and the fact that the assassin has been found and executed doesn't make it any better. I don't want to be here
." She looked up at him. "
I know it causes problems for you, as you have to fill the post, but...I just
stay here.
He waved his hand dismissively. "Don't worry about me; I'll find someone. Your well-being is the priority. And your other reason makes sense, too."
If you say so...
He didn't know what else he could say. What he wanted to do was to hold her hand in silence. "I look forward to seeing you soon. How will you arrive? Do you need a transport?"
No. Delva will bring us. I'm coming not only with Fatret, but also Taret. The medic says he wants to keep an eye on my lobes
Brenok chuckled. "Better than Delva's lobes." But she didn't smile. "Then I await your arrival. Tell Delva to activate that perfect cloak he has installed to make your journey safer."
Grin, please grin
, he thought. He knew it was illegal to travel in the Cardassian territory under cloak—he had given that order himself—but he hoped his little joke would remove the cloud from her face.
She looked at him and then quietly said, "
He doesn't have it any longer. It's been stolen from him.
The gul's eyes opened wide and then he burst into laughter. "Stolen?!" Someone stole something from a Ferengi—what an irony! His amusement vaporised very quickly, as there still was no smile on her face. His worry about her rose. "Come home, Atira," he said. "We'll take care of you."
She nodded and disconnected and he thought that he'd prefer to constantly feel the pain in his shoulder for the rest of his life instead of seeing her so miserable ever again.
The end

Hi allI have always had an issue with my PMDG 747-400 where I cannot seem to get a CDI indication when in VOR mode, now either I am doing something really dumb (which is highly likely), or it just doesn't work.The following pics are an example of how my 747 is set up. I have tried several different VORs from around the world etc to no avail. This is certainly a problem when trying to conduct a VOR/DME approach (obviously).Pic 1 NAV/RAD setup, showing DTY VOR in the UK (116.40),Pic 2Shows the EHSI on the nav display with no CDIAny ideas please?RgdsDean

The ND is telling you that the station is 27nm behind you, and you are in LNAV mode. LNAV is not used for VOR navigation that I am aware of, in LNAV mode the system is flying to a waypoint in the FMS. I think that is why you don't see the CDI bar (course deviation indicator). Do a search on VOR Navigation in this section of the forum, I know it has been discussed at length on several occasions.

DanThanks for the reply, I am a current airline pilot so I don't need any tuition on VOR navigation, the distance the VOR behind me is irrelevant, so is the fact that we are in LNAV mode. If I switch to HDG mode the CDI doesn't appear automatically.I am in LNAV mode but have the Nav Display set to VOR, it should show me a radial. What it should also give me is a raw data Relative Bearing Indicator pointing at the VOR. It isn't doing this.RgdsDean

I did a search for you and found several threads including this one: http://forum.avsim.n..._1#entry783272I think using the intercept course to a waypoint method in the FMS is a quick way to use VOR-type navigation. Otherwise, I don't recall reading about a real world case where 747s navigate from a VOR.
Dan Downs, Maj USAF (RET)
Posted 22 October 2010 - 05:20 PM
Cheers DanHowever, that is only someone's interpretation of how the IRUs pick up the aircraft's present position, which incidentally is correct. There still should be a way of flying using VORs as explained further down in the thread you posted.The 747-400 is 25 year old technology, if it cannot be done then how can we conduct a VOR/DME approach if the ILS is out? There has to be a way. Also when you select VOR to display on the EHSI it still should give a RB indication like an ADF needle.I'll have a trawl of the manuals to see what I can find.Thanks again.

Pick the VORD approach from the approach list to set up the approach in the FMS.

You should have raw data azimuth pointer/distance. When you insert a course into the nav/rad page for the required vor,I think you then get the CDI?The NAV RAD page is allows the crew tomonitor auto-tuning activity, or to manuallytune a desired frequency for VOR1/VOR2,ADF1/ADF2 or the ILS.A small 'A' next to a frequency indicates thatthe station has been auto-tuned fornavigation verification. An 'M' indicates thatthe frequency is manually selected by thecrew. Station identifier information appearsin the center of the display, along withcurrent redial TO the selected station.Likewise, desired OBS course for a VORcan be manually entered by up-selecting acourse from the scratch pad to either LSK2L or 2R.

Probably answers your question Dean - the 747 uses the fms rather than raw data. Doing it the way you have there the course will only be displayed on the ND in map mode.http://support.preci...he-747-400.aspxJohn Ellison

The "R" next to the frequency on the Nav Rad page shows that the frequency is Route Tuned. This is a form of autotuning carried out by the FMC. I recall (on the real aircraft), at least in the case of "A"utotuned frequencies, that the ND VOR page does not show the deviation bar or selected radial. If you manually enter the freq/course (assuming Route Tuning is manually overwriteable), you should get your proper displays : )VOR cannot be used as an autopilot mode (other than via LNAV). This applies to 747-400s, 767's, 757's and 777's. The age of the aircraft is not really relevant. Boeing designed it this way. The 737NG and Classic 737 seem to be the only current Boeings to be able to do this (not sure about the Boeing 717 (MD90)). A VOR must be manually flown when LNAV is not armed/engaged.Anyway, I'll see if I can simulate Route Tuning on a real aircraft when I get back to work (there are no route tuned dep/arr's at my local airport, but I'll try plugging one in for London Heathrow when I get back to work (to see what the displays look like)CheersQ>
Posted 02 November 2010 - 05:29 AM
I simulated a Route tuned and a Procedure tuned VOR frequency on a 744 today. The Nav Rad page allowed for the entry of a manual course with each of these types of tuned stations (dashed lines were presented at LSK R2 and L2).I have entered a CRS of "233" for the Procedure tuned station. When I did this, the Left ND VOR display showed the VOR scale and pointer (and would have showed the magenta deviation bar if the station had been in range).I don't know if this corresponds to PMDG ops or not(?)CHeersQ>

DTY VOR is not identified. When identified it should look like this. Tuned Vor stations can be recognised by them showing their identifier instead of their frequency. So for some reason the airplane can not find the station. Can you audio-identify the DTY VOR?rgdsTom
Posted 14 November 2010 - 07:42 PM
whats confusing to me is your screen shot. why arent you getting any raw data displays in the ctr mode, ie. vor needles? did you try tuning and identifying your vors to see if you get a morse code ident? looks to me like you have eveything correct. it almost seems like youre out of range of the service volume. if you go to map mode, do you see a green dashed line across your nd depicting your course?

Chaps many thanks for your replies, and sorry for my late reply, I have been extremely busy at work.QavionThanks, this is my whole point, I am getting no magenta CDI needle at all, nor any relative bearing needles (which you should get too). Thanks for trying it out.TomI am aware that the 3 letter identifier will display when it is "working", but I am getting a DME distance readout, and I am getting a full morse IDENT resounding as well. What is also baffling me is in your picture you have the magenta CDI displaying, whereas if you look at post #8 from John Ellison it is stating that the 744 will not give you a CDI to navigate by. So how come you are getting one? I am perplexed to be honest.stebowAs above this is confusing too, I should at least get the relative bearing indicators in raw data from the VORs if nothing else, at the very least I can then fly the VOR as I do an NDB approach etc, but nothing. As I said above I am getting a DME readout though, and a full morse IDENT. Very strange.Anyway thank you all for your replies, it's much appreciated.

Just today I was flying from Speterburg ULLI to Oslo ENGM. Leaving ULLI after take off my FMC radio autotuned two VOR wich suddenly makes me feel happy. as all you can see the ND shows the two green pointers indicating the position of both VORs (Pic01).
So i didn't resist to select the VOR display on the glareshield to see what happen. YES the the ND was showing the CDI bar on the old style rose hsi.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Here are 46 things we'll be keeping an eye on in Sunday's Super Bowl XLVI between the Patriots and the Giants.
1. The coin toss: The Patriots have either deferred or lost the toss on a fairly consistent basis over the last four years. According to ESPN, including playoff games, New England has chosen to defer the last 29 times it has won the opening coin toss. The last (and only) time New England chose to receive the opening kick since the rule change was Week 1 in 2008 against the Chiefs -- the game Tom Brady suffered a knee injury and missed the rest of the season. (ESPN also notes that from Week 1 of 2008 to Week 13 of 2011, the Giants chose to receive on every opening coin toss they won. That's 30 straight regular-season and playoff games in which they chose to receive.) Presuming the Patriots either lose or defer, that sets them up for one of their traditional moves -- putting themselves in scoring position at the end of the first half and getting the ball to start the second half. That seven- to 10-point swing has been a big factor for them over the course of the regular season.
2. Tom Brady against a phantom pass rush: New York's Jason Pierre-Paul intimated this week that the quarterback was rattled in their first meeting this season by a pass rush "that didn't exist and he was just throwing the ball places that there wasn't a receiver there. So imagine us just getting there even faster and we're actually doing out jobs and getting there and getting hits on him." Watch Brady's feet in the pocket on Sunday -- if he's shuffling and missing open receivers without pressure, then there's something to Pierre-Paul's claim.
3. Keeping Brady upright: The biggest factor in this game will be whether or not the New England offensive line will be able to contain the Giants' pass rush. The Patriots, who have played most of the season with backups at center (Dan Connolly, Ryan Wendell and Nick McDonald) and right tackle (rookie Nate Solder) will face a New York pass rush that is one of the best in the game. If the Giants can get consistent pressure with their front four and drop seven into coverage, it will cause problems for the New England pass game. However, in stark contrast to the three consecutive postseason losses heading into the divisional playoff game against Denver (a three-game stretch where Brady was hit 19 times), the Patriots have been able to neutralize a pair of better-than-average pass rushing teams over their first two playoff games: Against the Broncos, Brady wasn't sacked, and hit twice, and against the Ravens, he was hit three times and sacked once. (Brady was hit three times in a November loss to the Giants.)
4. Redemption for Logan Mankins and Matt Light: While the talk of revenge for Super Bowl XLII is mostly artificial hype, it's a very genuine feeling for the two New England offensive linemen who played that night and are back again in this game. A proud bunch, that line was humbled by the Giants' pass rush in Super Bowl XLII, and the image of that group not being able to keep the New Yorkers away from Brady was a damning indictment of their play. Mankins and Light would dearly love a chance to rewrite the script on Sunday.
5. Brady the second time around: The quarterback has had good outings when facing a defense for the second time in the 2011 season. In those four games, the Patriots are 4-0 against teams when they face them the second time, and Brady has an average line of 26-for-39 for 334 yards, with three touchdowns and 0.5 picks, numbers that are a slight improvement on his season-long average. For what it's worth, the first time around against the Giants, Brady went 28-for-49 for 342 yards, with two touchdowns and two interceptions in a Nov. 6 loss to New York at Gillette Stadium.
6. Trying to defend Hakeem Nicks: Nicks wasn't in the lineup for the first meeting of the season between the Patriots and Giants, which allowed the Patriots' pass defense to focus the majority of its efforts on trying to slow down Victor Cruz. Now that Nicks' is back, New England will have to defend against two receivers that have big-play capability in Nicks and Cruz. Kyle Arrington and Devin McCourty (when McCourty is working as a corner) will likely see the bulk of the duty here when the Patriots are in man coverage.
7. Eli's escapability: It's not like he can keep plays alive with his feet like Michael Vick, or that he's hard to bring down like Ben Roethlisberger. But Manning has a certain escapability that has served him well in years past. Mark Anderson said that a big point of emphasis for the New England defenders is to maintain gap discipline and their rush lanes against Eli, because he has a unique ability to extend plays that few other quarterbacks have.
8. The NASCAR package: The Giants occasionally utilize a defensive front that has four defensive ends on the field, called the NASCAR package. It's something they go to on third down and other passing situations, and New York will almost certainly go with it on some occasion Sunday. If the Patriots recognize the formation, look for them to try and either max protect or have Brady check down into a draw or screen pass.
9. Vince Wilfork against the New York offensive line: Wilfork is playing the best football of his career, and was dominant in the first two postseason games this year. The Patriots will likely need another massive effort from the Pro Bowler up front -- if Wilfork can get pressure up the middle (commanding two and three blockers in the process), that will give outside rushers like Mark Anderson and Rob Ninkovich to be single-blocked, which will almost certainly allow them free access to the quarterback.
10. Trick/gadget plays: The Patriots have been occasionally vulnerable to weird plays this season, almost getting beaten twice on end-arounds where a wide receiver tried to deliver a pass. (Once, against the Redskins, it worked. The second time, against the Broncos, the only time it didn't work was because it was a poorly thrown pass.) It wouldn't be a surprise to see the Giants try something out of the ordinary at least once on the evening.
11. Deion Branch in the Super Bowl: As colleague Kirk Minihane wrote, it's easy to dismiss Branch, but when you consider his Super Bowl performances of the past, combined with the fact that Rob Gronkowski may not be at 100 percent, could mean that the veteran is in for a big evening against the Giants.
12. Kevin Faulk in what might be his last roundup: The veteran running back, who is the last of the Pete Carroll Patriots on the roster, could call it a career after Sunday's game. If it is his last contest, Belichick could try and do something memorable with him. He's done it before with well-respected veterans like Doug Flutie and Vinny Testaverde, and if it's within the overall context of the game, they could run something like a direct snap to Faulk on the goal line, a favorite play of the New England running back.
13. The no-huddle: This is well-trod ground, to be sure, but it bears repeating: The Seahawks told anyone who would listen that they were going to run no-huddle against the Giants earlier this season, and then went out and dropped 36 points on them in an October win with Tarvaris Jackson and Charlie Whitehurst at quarterback. The Patriots love to use the no-huddle (they've run it roughly 25 percent of the time this season), and will likely have plenty of opportunities to use it on Sunday.
14. If the Giants decide to pull an Al Czervik: New York rightfully drew the ire of several people around the league earlier in the season when the Giants faked injuries in an attempt to try and slow down the St. Louis offense. It will be interesting to see if they try to do the same thing on Sunday against the Patriots, who are masterfully efficient when it comes to running the no-huddle.
15. How much the Patriots use Edelman as a defensive back: New England will likely need to call upon the services of Edelman as a defensive player on occasion throughout the night, but if they need to press him into service for more than a handful of snaps, the Patriots will be in trouble. If he's out there, expect Manning to go right after him.
16. The inactives: If we had to hazard a guess, the following six would make up the majority of the inactives for the Patriots (you need to have seven on each team): quarterback Ryan Mallett, running back Shane Vereen, guard Donald Thomas, defensive lineman Ron Brace, linebacker Gary Guyton and either cornerbacks Antuwan Molden or Nate Jones.
17. Turnovers: The Patriots were good at taking care of the ball over the course of the regular season and into the postseason, but Brady threw two picks the first time these two teams met this season. The quarterback cannot afford to be so careless with the ball this time around, especially when it comes to giving up the ball in the Patriots' side of the field. The New England defense simply cannot be asked to defend on multiple occasions on a short field. The same is true on the other side of the ball: In their history, New York is 1-16 in the playoffs when they have more turnovers than takeaways.
18. Fast starts: The first time these two teams met, it was a scoreless first half, part of a run for the Patriots where they had issues scoring points early. New England needs to get a fast start to seize the tone and tempo of the game. For what it's worth, the Patriots have not scored in the first quarter in any of their four Super Bowls in the Belichick era, but they have either led (three times) or been tied (once, against the Giants) at halftime in all four.
19. Halftime, and we're not talking about Madonna: The break between the second and third quarters is twice as long as it is during the regular season, and in years' past, guys who have gone into the game injured have stiffened up with the extended break. Keep an eye on some of the players who came into the game with injuries in the early stages of the second half to see if there's any slippage in play.
20. Rob Gronkowski's ankle: We had to go there, but it's going to be the focal point, at least in the early going. How the big tight end responds right out of the gate -- as well as early in the second half after the extended halftime -- should give us some idea of how much he'll be able to contribute. Gronkowski has been on the field for more than 95 percent of the snaps this season, and as someone who has such a vital role as a pass catcher and blocker, his presence is key.
21. If Gronkowski is limited, can Aaron Hernandez step up? When Gronkowski has been quiet this season (either being used more as a blocker than a pass catcher or shut down by opposing defenses), Hernandez has responded nicely. The high point of his season in that regard came in a December win over the Broncos in Denver. With Gronkowski taken out of the passing game, Hernandez flourished, catching nine passes for 129 yards (to that point in the season, a career-high for the young tight end). If Gronkowski is limited, he'll be asked to raise his production level once again.
22. The effectiveness of Ahmad Bradshaw: The Giants leading rusher with 659 yards on the season, Bradshaw missed the practice Friday because of a sore right foot. Coach Tom Coughlin listed Bradshaw as probable for Sunday's game, and said he expects him to play. Bradshaw has a broken bone in his right foot and it was sore after two days of practice at the University of Indianapolis' practice bubble. If Bradshaw is limited, expect Brandon Jacobs to get more reps.
23. The Giants tight ends: They don't garner the headlines like the New England tandem of Gronkowski and Hernandez, but the New York tight ends are a key part of the Giants' passing game, and have come up with some well-timed big plays to help lift New York in key moments. Bear Pascoe had a 6-yard touchdown grab in the NFC championship game. Travis Beckum has seven catches in the postseason. And starter Jake Ballard led Giants tight ends with 38 catches for 604 yards and four touchdowns during the regular season. In addition, Ballard scorched the Patriots late in their November contest, when he had a big 28-yard catch with 51 seconds to play to keep a Giants' game-winning drive alive. Then, he caught a one-yard touchdown pass with 15 seconds left to seal the victory.
24. The Josh McDaniels effect: McDaniels was the offensive coordinator for the Rams this season, and had some success against the Giants when the two teams met this season with a few interesting looks. While New York's talent level ultimately proved to be the difference, it will be interesting to see how much the Patriots dip into that game plan on Sunday.
25. Indoors: The Patriots didn't play a single regular-season game indoors all year. (They had one preseason game inside, a loss to Detroit.) While it's not a dramatic difference, the logistics of playing indoors after a full season outside can take some getting used to -- things like sightlines and lighting. That will likely be mollified by the fact that it's at Lucas Oil Stadium, a place where the Patriots have played in the past.
26. Taking out the trash: There was plenty of pregame talk from the Giants, but in this one it's also worth keeping an eye on what happens during the game. In Super Bowl XLII, there was a TON of in-game yapping between New York and New England.
27. How the Patriots use Rob Ninkovich: Ninkovich has been shuffled around a lot this season, moving from outside linebacker to defensive end and back again, setting the edge, rushing the passer and dropping into coverage. No Patriots' defender has been asked to do more, and he has responded nicely to the challenge, especially over the second half of the season. Look for him to be asked to do several things on Sunday, whether it's get after Manning, prevent the New York running backs from bouncing outside or dropping into coverage against tight ends and wide receivers.
28. Following the flags: The Patriots started the season on an uncharacteristically bad note when it came to drawing penalties, but were able to cut way back on the flags over the course of the season, and in the two postseason games, penalties haven't been an issue for New England, which has played smart playoff football to this point.
29. Lots of opportunities for BenJarvus Green-Ellis: The Giants are going to be focused on stopping the New England passing game before anything else, and that will give the Patriots a real opportunity to run the ball. Green-Ellis is as healthy right now as he's been in months, and much like he did on several occasions against the Ravens in the AFC championship game, could be asked to run some draws, taking advantage of a defense that's thinking pass first.
30. How frequently the Patriots use Nate Solder in three-tight end sets: The rookie bounced outside on several occasions over the course of the regular season, serving as the third tight end when the Patriots were looking to get some extra protection. (He was in that role for 23 of the 78 snaps against the Giants in the first game between these two teams.) It's also worth keeping an out for Solder as a possible pass catcher -- he was originally recruited to Colorado as a tight end, and according to the coaching staff, never lets them forget about the fact that he can catch passes.
31. The return of Seabass: Offensive line coach Dante Scarnecchia told me Tuesday that Sebastian Vollmer will play in some fashion on Sunday. After an extended time on the shelf because of back and foot problems, if he's truly healthy enough to give the Patriots significant snaps, has he earned the right to return to the starting lineup? Not sure at this point, but his presence will allow New England to run more three tight-end sets using rookie Nate Solder, which would help out big when it comes to run and pass blocking.
32. How are the Patriots going to use Devin McCourty? While still getting steady work as a cornerback, McCourty has stepped in nicely as a part-time safety (on third down and other passing situations) with the Patriots at the end of the regular season and into the postseason, and it would seem to be a safe bet that he'll do the same on Sunday. When he's a corner, look for him to be lined up in coverage against Hakeem Nicks, but as a safety, he'll be playing a deep center field, looking to limit the big-play possibilities of Victor Cruz.
33. Will Bill Belichick and the Patriots treat Victor Cruz like they did Marshall Faulk in Super Bowl XXXVI? It's an intriguing thought, one first raised by the brilliant Greg Cosell of NFL Films. Cosell suggests the New England will use Rob Ninkovich in much the same way it did Willie McGinest and Mike Vrabel that night in New Orleans, pounding him and trying to be physical in hopes of disrupting his routes. One thing is for sure -- the Patriots can't hope to try to defend Cruz in the slot with Julian Edelman. That will blow up in their face.
34. Zoltan Mesko: Mesko has become a key figure for the Patriots, as he's having one of the best seasons of any punter in the NFL. On several occasions, he's managed to get New England out of some bad spots when it comes to field position, and has played a sizable role in making sure that opposing offenses do not have a short field to work with. (For what it's worth: Neither Mesko or New York punter Steve Weatherford has had a punt blocked in each of the last two seasons.)
35. Is Danny Aiken more Lonie Paxton or Brian Kinchen? Patriots long snappers in he Super Bowl have an interesting history. Paxton was the long snapper for New England in Super Bowls XXXVI, XXXIX and XLII, and executed each situation flawlessly, including the game-winning field goal in the first Super Bowl win. Kinchen, who was brought in as a replacement for Paxton prior to Super Bowl XXXVIII, was a bit shaky, botching a couple of snaps before eventually delivering a clean one on the game-winning field goal from Adam Vinatieri. In his first year in New England, this is Aiken's first career appearance in the Super Bowl.
36. Stephen Gostkowski on the big stage: This is the second Super Bowl for the kicker, but to this point in his career, he's been pretty steady in the postseason. He went 3-for-3 on field goal attempts from 40 or more yards during the 2006 postseason, including the Patriots' only postseason make from 50-plus. Sine then, he's attempted only one kick from 4-plus in the playoffs, and failed on that attempt. Over the last two regular seasons, Gostkowski and the Patriots are 12-for-15 from 40-plus yards, a respectable 80 percent conversion rate, above the league average of 73 percent.
37. Return to sender: The Patriots have gotten better-than-average performances out of their punt and kick return units this season. Two weeks ago against Baltimore, Danny Woodhead returned a kickoff 41 yards. It was the longest kickoff return of the season for the Patriots. (This was the first regular season since 1994 in which the Patriots failed to return a kickoff at least 40 yards as their longest was 37.) Overall, New England has had pretty good starting field position this year, thanks in part to their returners: The Patriots ranked eighth in the league in average starting field position this regular season, averaging their drive starts at the 29.3-yard-line. They were also in the top 10 in drives started in their opponents' territory (i.e. past the 50-yard-line) with 26.
38. Ochocinco: At this point, anything is possible, really. He has fallen off the radar screen completely -- he was a healthy scratch in the AFC championship game -- and he's been pretty much a nonfactor for the last month or so. At the same time, his playing time could be dictated by Gronkowski's status. That's not to suggest that he would gain a significant amount of snaps if the tight end is at less than his best. It's only to say that he could stand to benefit with some more snaps and possibly more targets in Gronkowski's ankle is so bad that he's sidelined.
39. The battle of the slot receivers: This could be the best matchup between slot receivers in the history of the game. Wes Welker, who has been so dependable for Brady and the Patriots since he arrived in New England prior to the 2007 season, against Cruz, a dynamic young star out of UMass who has given a jolt to the New York passing attack. We've already covered how the Patriots might defend Cruz, but Welker, who had nine catches for 136 yards in the first game between the Patriots and Giants, will almost certainly demand extra coverage from New York on Sunday.
40. Shaun Ellis: It has been a long and occasionally difficult season for Ellis, who was brought in from New York to help bring a jolt to New England's defensive line. When he's been healthy, he's performed relatively well, but those instances have been few and far between. A solid performance against the Giants (not unlike the one he put on the Patriots in last year's postseason) would go a long way toward redeeming the season for him.
41. Brandon Spikes' impact in the middle: The second-year linebacker out of Florida has given a spark to the New England run defense since returning from a knee injury at the end of the season, and despite occasional lapses in coverage, is also close to becoming a three-down linebacker. Described by Greg Cosell as a "violent" presence in the middle, a healthy and steady performance from Spikes could go a long way toward slowing down the New York running game.
42. New York running in the red zone: According to Nuggetpalooza, while the Giants had the NFL's lowest rushing average during the regular season (3.47), they were pretty effective on the ground where it mattered -- inside their opponents' 10-yard-line. When sniffing pay dirt, Giants runners averaged 2.09 yards per rush, fourth-best in the league. They were efficient down there as well, scoring touchdowns on 39.4 percent of their rushing plays inside the 10, also fourth highest in the league.
43. How much the Patriots relaxed attitude this week translates to the field: Bill Belichick and the rest of the franchise have been about as laid-back as you could possibly imagine this week, with Belichick throwing off one-liners and charming much of the national media in the process. It remains to be seen how much effect it will have on Sunday, but this group is clearly more relaxed than it has been before playoff games in previous years, including last season's playoff loss to the Jets, and it will be interesting to see how that comes across on the field.
44. Tom Brady and his legacy: If Brady wins on Sunday, he will etch his name on a very short list of quarterbacks who have won four Super Bowls. And while Terry Bradshaw's postseason performances cannot be overlooked, he doesn't have near the same regular-season numbers as Brady. Ultimately, if Brady wins on Sunday, it's him and Joe Montana who are standing together at the top of the mountain.
45. Bill Belichick and a shot at history: The Patriots coach would become just the second head coach in NFL history with four Super Bowl titles if New England is able to come away with a victory, joining Chuck Noll. Like Brady, it's difficult to measure his body of work and where he fits in among the greats while he's still coaching, but four Super Bowl rings would leave no doubt that he is one of the best coaches in the history of the game.
46. The final score: This will be one of the more dramatic Super Bowls in recent memory, with two teams that match up very well with each other. However, I think that in the end (even with a hobbled Gronkowski), the Patriots have just enough on the offensive side of the ball to outlast New York, 27-23.

The symptoms of diabetic peripheral neuropathy and any changes that occur during the trial will be evaluated based on neurological examination data, electrophysiological testing data, subject neurological questionnaire, and subject pain assessment. Specifically, investigators will use the following tests: the visual analog scale for pain intensity (VASPI), a modified Neuropathy Impairment Score - Lower Limbs (NIS-LL) scoring system as well as total neuropathy score (TNS) to assess signs and symptoms of the condition. A quantitative neurologic exam such as NIS-LL is widely regarded by neurologists as the most comprehensive approach to evaluating changes in nerve health. In addition, data from electrophysiological testing using nerve conduction velocity (NCV) to assess the rate at which a nerve can conduct an electrical signal, and quantitative sensory testing (QST) with the Vibratron II instrument, to assess the threshold of detection of vibration are also being collected. Skin biopsies will also be taken to evaluate the direct therapeutic effect of SB-509 on nerve regrowth. This test is a very sensitive marker of DN severity and may provide an important mechanistic marker for efficacy.

HIAS Responds to Senate Refugee Resettlement Hearing
"Since World War II, the U.S. has been an example to the rest of the world and has been a leader in both providing humanitarian assistance and in resettling the most vulnerable refugees from around the world. It's a legacy we can be proud of — and one we must build on now, during this crisis, if we intend to continue to set the model we hope others will follow."
HIAS Responds to Sec. Kerry's Refugee Announcement
HIAS CEO and President Mark Hetfield responds to Secretary Kerry's announcement that the United States would accept 85,000 refugees next year, saying "Syrian refugees and the refugee hosting countries in the world need one giant leap from the United States, and instead they are getting one small step."

MOVIE REVIEW:Sukob (2006)
Auhtor:Chito S. Ro?o, Chris Martinez
Sandy and Phil, both Overseas Workers in Dubai, are busy preparing for their wedding. Upon reaching her home, Sandy learns from her mother, Daisy, what happened to her friend, Helen. A short time after Helen's father died, Helen proceeded with her wedding. A few weeks after the wedding, Helen's husband dies in a plane crash. As Helen goes to the crash site, she dies in a bus accident. A few weeks later, Helen's mother suddenly disappears inside her house. Their bodies have never been recovered. Sandy proceeds with her own wedding. During the ceremony, she suffers from nosebleed and starts seeing glimpses of a ghostly flower girl. It turns out that she is not the only one who saw it. Maja, a psychic and the daughter of her husband's cousin, also saw the flower girl. Hours later, Sandy and Phil learn that the van carrying some of the secondary sponsors met an accident. When they get to the site, the bodies of the victims could not be found. Instead, they see a bridal cord. Sandy's relatives and friends disappear one by one. Things become more mysterious when Sandy receives their respective wedding photos. The people who died are headless in the photos. They realize that all the headless people in the photos are bound to die. Joya tells Sandy that she is cursed by the sukob. Sandy is shocked - no one in her family has died recently, nor has anyone gotten married. In searching for the truth, Sandy unearths a dark family secret. Now, Sandy has to find a way to end the curse before it takes away all the people she holds dear.

In the rarely-spoken about ancient times of yore, when PC gaming was more than a torrent fest, the internet wasn't strong or fast enough to deliver content to people realistically, and console makers still argued about how many bits their system had, PC developer's relied on the expansion pack to keep their fans happy. Usually offering a bevy of new single player content, along with some multiplayer stuff to keep the fraggers on their toes, these packs would inject new levels, weapons, and art into the original game, offering some fresh gameplay to convince you to keep that game installed for just a bit longer. First person shooters truly popularized this practice, with Doom, Duke Nukem 3D, Quake, and Half-Life all receiving prominant single-player expansions.
Sadly, this practice has fallen by the wayside over the years (along with PC gaming). While expansions are still very popular for multiplayer titles, especially MMORPGs and console shooters, the single player expansion has all but disappeared, being relegated to the rare PC title that sold well enough to warrent it or the casual title that just ...won't....die. Even then, in the rare exception that these expansions are published to consoles, it is always as a stand-alone game, completely nullifying the expansion-nature of the title. Prominant examples of this over the past few years include the Doom 3 expansion, Resurrection of Evil, Ratchet and Clank:Quest for Booty, and the FEAR expansion packs, released together on Xbox 360.
Thankfully, it looks like the single player expansion pack is indeed attempting to dig itself out of its grave for one more run. The first, and seemingly most gigantic, shot was fired on the arm of Peter Moore when Microsoft locked in 2 exclusive Grand Theft Auto 4 single player "episodes", the first coming this fall. This was a monster annoucement, as it reintroduced an idea rarely seen on consoles: introducing new solo content through the internet. Sure, its been tried before, (the original Splinter Cell had a DLC SP mission, Beautiful Katamari had some downloadable planets, and...uhhh.....i'll get back to you on that) but these attempts have been few and far betwen. What better way to keep people from trading in their single player games than to have new content on the horizon?
Eidos, obviously thinking along the same lines, 2 new single player expansions for the upcoming Tomb Raider Underworld , one in December, and one in 09. These, coupled with the Halo 3 expansion currently in the works over at Bungie, and the slew of new content and challenges released recently for Burnout Paradise, including the bikes pack, will hopefully be a sign of happier times to come for all of us single player proponents. Plus, the introduction of user-created content on consoles, starting with Little Big Planet, could mean that anyone can find ways to prolong the life of the solo-play of any given title, both online and off. This kind of synergy is truly the future of single-player gaming, and offering everyone the ability to build something new will keep single-player games from being a relic of the past.

Brian Nicholson, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — Brent Denney attended college briefly at Snow College in Ephraim, but that was a couple of decades ago. After becoming a father during his freshman year, he retraced a 350-mile journey back to the Navajo Nation in southern Utah to start paying the bills. The famed red-rock landscape around Monument Valley welcomed him home, but life on the reservation offered few career opportunities.
Denney is 41 now, and he's tired of bouncing from one low-paying job to another. He's done all kinds of construction work — when he could get it — and worked in schools as a teaching assistant, substitute teacher and lunchroom helper.
His two sons are away at college now, and Denney wants to show them that their dad can finish the college degree he started. Cultural ties, and his part-time job at a federal reservation school, bind Denney to the dusty town of Aneth. The empty vistas and rugged canyons he loves don't stand in the way of his chance for a college education, though.
Denney is working toward becoming a school counselor through the Utah State University Eastern satellite campus in Blanding. He attends his classes at learning centers in Monument Valley and Montezuma Creek, two of the tiny towns dotting the Navajo Nation's vast lands. Thanks to videoconferencing technology, Denney can see, hear and interact with professors and classmates in Blanding, Price, Logan and other towns scattered across rural Utah.
"It's just like being in the classroom," Denney said. "The professor can see and hear you — and call on you. You'd better be on point, and answer the question right, or you're going to look goofy in front of the whole state, essentially."
Virtual learning
Online learning is a major trend in education, exemplified by self-directed courses through websites like Kahn Academy's, university correspondence classes adapted for Internet delivery, all-online colleges such as Western Governors University and a host of for-profit online career schools.
Traditional colleges in several states are connecting their satellite campuses through videoconferencing equipment, and USU is a leader in the distance learning field. USU's Logan campus is connected to 25 remote campuses and education centers across about 3 million square miles. About 12,000 USU students across Utah videoconference to see and hear their professors in real time.
Earlier this month, USU held a ribbon-cutting for a 40,000-quare-foot Regional Campus and Distance Education Building on its Logan campus designed as a nerve center for its distance learning system, which offers a choice of 48 degrees to students across Utah.
On the same day, a new administration building was dedicated on USU Eastern's Blanding campus. The building includes two, 40-person conference rooms linked to professors and students across the state.
Distance vs. online
Synchronous (real-time) distance learning classes have advantages over traditional online courses, which are much more common. In the familiar model for online learning, students access written materials, and perhaps audio and video lectures, on their own schedules. They might have opportunities to chat online with teachers and other students, but not within a real-time classroom setting.
In synchronous distance learning classes, videoconferencing equipment links classrooms at multiple remote locations, allowing real-time visual and audio interaction between a teacher and students at remote locations. Distance learning extends the reach of higher education institutions, saves money for students and schools, and can bolster rural economies. And, it comes closer to a true classroom experience than other online learning models do.

- General Info:
- Since the fall of 1981, when the Arnold Palmer-designed The Jeremy Golf & Country Club opened, golfers from throughout the world have fallen in love with its pugnacious charm. No matter what the handicap they play to, players have all agreed on one thing: The Jeremy is a true championship course. Palmer designed the course in one of the most beautiful settings in the West, the high foothills of the Wasatch Mountains. Using East Canyon Creek as both a companion and, occasionally, an adversary, the sprawling, gently rolling course has a slight Irish accent. Rated at 72.9, The Jeremy is one of the most challenging courses in Utah. The fairways are dressed in pine and aspen trees and low brush - almost all are bunkered. The course generously rewards accuracy from the tee, but doesn t punish too hard if a golfer misses a fairway or two.
